I AM ATHLETE | Season 3: Episode 20
Brandon Marshall, Chad Johnson and Omar Kelly welcome former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Brian Flores. Tune in as they discuss his recent firing, lawsuit against the NFL and what the NFL and ownership needs to do to improve the status of minority leadership hires.
The show opens up with the cast all giving their best shot at defining the "Patriots Way" and how the organization has been able to be so successful over the years. After spending time as an assistant coach with the Patriots, Brian Flores shares that he's learned alot under Bill Belichick but they both still take a different approach to coaching. The conversation shifts to Brian's recent firing after 3 seasons with Miami and how it came as a surprise to most of the world after he started the season off at 1-7 but ended it with a 9-8 record. Flores shares that he believes his firing was racially driven and how his open lawsuit against the NFL will help minority coaches in the future. Flores also shares his thoughts on ways that the NFL can implement changes right away that can benefit coaches in similar situations in the future.
Brandon wraps the episode up by asking Brian, who is the X and who is the Z. As Brandon and Chad battle it out, Omar shares his thoughts to help move the conversation along. Omar shares that they both are talented receivers in their own ways but he has to go with Chad as the X.

Rich brothers paying it backwards by constantly promoting betting to their community to potentially breed the next generation of gambling addicts and broken homes. How much money is enough for you, Brandon. Have some moral courage please.
Can we stop attaching Black with minority. Minority = everyone except white men. It weakens the specific needs of the Black community.

The thing that strikes as with an obvious cover up about Brian Flores lawsuit is the silence by Chris Grier . Why has Chris Grier remained silent ? You would think when considering the fact that he hired Brian Flores that he would say something . I wonder about Chris Grier and whose side he's on .
@@terryholmes1609 surprised u expect Grier to say something now. What do you want Chris to say exactly? A GM is a "company man" irrespective of colour and with a lawsuit activated, lawyers control all the messages that come from the team.
"There comes a time when silence is betrayal." Appreciate you guy’s for speaking up . 🔥
Yes and that time is conveniently after you get fired. Wonder if we’d know all of this if Ross gives him another year 🤔
@@joeferreira4992 The same GM who wanted to play by Ross’s rules. He was upset about Flores not tanking just like Ross. Grier protected his own ass because he knew if it came down to who leaves, it’d be Flores. That being said, Grier also knows as a Black man in the NFL or “Corporate America” as Ocho or Bmarsh puts it. It’s harder for them to recover from that. Flores knew the possible out comes already. So yeah it’s about race.
YES‼️
He's lame
Lmao!!!
Joe really deleted his comment. Get owned bozo
Everyone who is a believer please join me to keep Coach Flores in our prayers. This is so much bigger than football.
Amen
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amen...count me in🙏🏿
In JESUS name, Amen💪🏾💪🏾
🛐
Flores mindset was all I needed to hear. I will not bend to loose. Welcome to Pittsburgh if he wins and continues the culture he will be coveted 💯
Exactly there is no amount of money that could be offered for me to lose on purpose cause then they could be like nah you aren’t winning and fire me anyway and I’m never getting a job again cause I didn’t win and I’m a Steelers Dani was ecstatic seeing we hired him
@@donavanwells9454 just the fact that that’s I bet how he loves his life. Like you can’t comprise me in anything and I just love that.
@@donavanwells9454 Facts. Damn shame Owners well sell there souls to tank.
@@surfclubclothingcompany2188 compromise** and absolutely agree.
He had never even been a coordinator and now hes out here on a PR stunt. Stop... If he had real evidence he wouldn't have to do this.. ✌️
Brian Flores is a man of principle and I love that. Give em hell coach!!
He’s also a difficult person to get along with and has a problem with authority. His difficulty working with the owner is why he got fired. Remember Marvin Lewis the former coach of Bengals? He had many losing seasons but never got fired. Why? Because he had a good relationship with the owner. It’s not that hard to figure out.
We already have it, his name is Bryon Jones. Cost $82MM
@Always Dreaming I appreciate the fact the man didn't sell out on everything he believed in for 100k a week. That's all
@@Lundahlium must be the opium making you misspell "Byron"
@@troyblack8659 How's it spelled?
Respect to Coach Flores. Respect to Omar, Ocho and B. - “I won’t bend to lose” 🔥 This episode was everything. Thank you.
That’s the problem Flores gave 100% on the field and the best he could do is win 49% of the time. So he have a piss poor winning record and has a terrible relationship with the owner. And he wants to scream racism?
@@alwaysdreaming5175 EXACTLY
You dont bend to lose, you bend to win, if he had burrow instead of tua, he would still be the dolphins coach and we probably at least would've lost the super bowl at the very least, cuz our defense is better than Cincinnati, everything is not racism !!!
@@alwaysdreaming5175 racism? ha. yeah right. anytime a multi millionaire cries racism...im sorry. i just laugh. stfu and go away michelle obama clone
Love this!! Flo don't hate Miami, hate the person(s) who wronged you. So many of us love you!! BMarshall, Ocho5 and Omar, this was much needed. Thanks!!
Totally agree
He's still good to us down here
@@superboy305 to you maybe, not to me and many other dolphin fans after we learned how he fuck us by not tanking for what became the burrow pick, not even trying to get brady cuz "tampering", never pull the trigger on mr touchy hands Watson, never worried about growing Tua, what the fuck 🤦🏽♂️, great man and a good coach but he wasn't willing to do the needed stuff to make our franchise better, now we will keep being the eternal mediocre losers we always been, so thanks for nothing flores, we can't even get Sean Payton cuz of the lawsuit or and definitely not John Harbaugh either 🤦🏽♂️
I'm not feeling the Nascar aspect of this channel but conversations and guest like this are what bring me back to this channel. And For the record I WATCH BOTH SHOWS.
Same
Clap 4 urself
@@cnwachuk3141 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Anyone can and should we are only viewers and the separation only gave us another show I hope we get the crossover like previously said but I think everyone that thinks they can’t watch both or “pick a side” is only flaming the fire pushing them further apart
@@grabbingrain2238 people love drama.
Coach Flores came with that Brooklyn energy. He ain't playing with y'all, his presence was felt and ain't once raised his voice. Peace B Marsh for the awesome episode!
I genuinely think he was the best thing that happened to Miami in a long time there's a reason his players loved him and hearing about the fact that the owner wanted him to lose games and despite that he fought through and made a winning team can't say anything other than I respect him a lot.
You realize those 5 meaningless wins are the difference between Burrow and Tua.
@@chicagodude8888 what do you think happens if you know your coach is trying to lose games? You don't even have to think very long look at Doug Peterson if that was the path that they wanted to go then they needed to hire a coach who did not care about the players and only wanted to appease the owner.
@@lostnemesis Was he informed before or after he was hired? Whether right or wrong, defying the guy writing you a 6 figure paycheck will always end in termination. Ask Jimmy Johnson.
Is Mike McDaniel qualify in the racial draft ?
Yeah I don't think the players loved him as much as you think. They love McDaniels more. He was holding back Tua and the dolphins.
Coach is soooo well Spoken and has Integrity and glad of his opportunity now at the Steelers!! 💪🏽👊🏽💪🏽
I love him tbh I needed this podcast. I have a new found love for coach Flores. Warm warm welcome to the Burgh
Europeans Owner going straight hell 98% Europeans in Usa an Europe why say change Heart racist all usa company is structure as Slave plantations Forget Europeans did humanity got power from evil Read bible Lord said people still getting oprossed by Enemy in End times Lord said they enemy not refering Europeans as racist 2022 read bible Lord Black was Hebrew people saying Jews not Jews them Europeans😂💀😂Nfl owners invest Nfl like invest plantation do evil never trust opproser What done Ancestors done Chinese they see Europeans as Monsters or demons
Well spoken...you must think black men are dumb..
I hate that we associate"well-spoken" with blackness. How else is he supposed to speak?
He’s a terrible coach and had a problem with Minkah when he was in Miami. As a Dolphin fan, I’m happy to see the guy that kept playing Jesse Davis gone. Flores was in over his head as “the guy”. He’s a coordinator not a head coach.
After seeing Coach Flo for 2 years, he was single handedly the reason I was believing in “My team” again. That culture of staff, coaches, and players was the ONLY reason I became a season tickets holder. I hope we can get him back one day.
Good luck to you, your family, everyone involved on I Am Athlete, and Pitt.
Messy P.S., Ocho been that guy!
Oh noooo please he can stay the fuck away from the dolphins,he ain't ready to get dirty to get the players we need, he can stay in cold ass Pittsburgh, we can be mediocre without him too
@@pupyherrera3178 They would have fired him for losing after they asked him to. He earns his bread from wins and losses.
@@originx7 I say he would've been another Tomlin if he coached either Burrow or Brady in Miami, and neither you or me actually know what would've happened
Respect for saying this bro.
Did not know Coach Flores was from Brownsville- never ran and never will community. LoL.. His integrity and commitment is unshakable and without question. This is the true essence of the man and black excellence. What moved me was he kept saying this is bigger than me and the sacrifice must be made. I am moved by your sincerity and commitment to doing what is right. Great interview and once again I see the core of the man. Great job fellas. Salute to coach Flores and much respect for being a real man. Much love stand strong and on principal.💪🏿.💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏽.
Omgggggggg chilllle he don't take NO MESS
This man did so much for the Patriots, much respect and continuity to him.
This was an honest discourse. As a fan I can understand wanting to tank and as a fan I can also understand not wanting to disrespect the integrity of the game.
Gotta commend anyone brave enough to tell their story and stand on it
He has been hired as a coach by the NFL 3 times.... But he cant get a job because he is Black.... PLEASE DUDE....
@@googleuser6201 it’s funny you brought that up. Because I didn’t mention any of that in my comment, 😂😂 nice try tho
@@HEYSERG maybe thats the point... maybe you should have!
heck yea man. you would love the oprah winfrey show!
@@jorgebusch7 🧐
Omar doesn’t understand that when you get a group of people in the mindset of losing, it’s hard to change the culture. That winning culture that Brian Flores established rubbed off on Miami. It was actually interesting to watch them play because you knew they were gunna bring the heat every Sunday even though they were undermanned.
That losing attitude takes it’s toll. For some players they start expecting to lose and can’t shake it.
Exactly, when everyone has aindset that they can win every game, everyone can excell.
I mean the bengals were tanking and just went to the super bowl with joe burrow and the same coach
The fact that Brian got another coaching job is amazing. I can't wait for all of this to get settled. We need more people like him who are willing to sacrafice to pave the way for future generations. A new guiding light for the culture.
It totally invalidate his lawsuit I mean according to him the NFL has racist hiring practices and yet he’s currently employed by the league he says is racist. You can’t make this up.
@@alwaysdreaming5175 right bro smh
@@alwaysdreaming5175 he would gotten a head coaching job somewhere if he was so stupid. NFL is business. He took it personal.
@@alwaysdreaming5175 according to him" or according to the 32 white owners that control the game. So because he's see white people being hired 10x more then black players for coaching jobs in the nfl he should be silent to please your way of thinking. Just because he works for the nfl doesn't mean he should kiss ass and agree with things that are wrong. Your the type that will say dum shit, but won't never look at the facts that prove you wrong.
@@reeseporter7435 Haha. Did I hurt your feelings? You’re the type to make bogus statements about someone you don’t know or never met as if it is fact yet I’m the dumb one? I feel sorry for you son your life must be very hard. The NFL has always been unfair this is a league that doesn’t recognize affirmative action which is why it dominated by black and white players only. You rarely see a Latinos, Asians or Indians get a chance to play or work in executive roles because it’s a league that requires you to know someone. Similar to Flores relationship with Belichek had it not been for that he would still be an assistant coach. The truth hurts I know son.
Monday could not have come soon ENOUGH! BTW…THIS SET/LOCATION IS FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️. Also big shouts to the camera crew. Love their work also!
Really excited to see what this man does with my Steelers! Certain linebackers need to be held accountable, and I feel he's the perfect guy to do that and bring the best out of that group.
Bush and Highsmith for sure I think Schoebert is gone
He has a 49% win rate as coach which means Lamar Jackson is going to humiliate and embarrass his defense next season. Bengals and Ravens we’re celebrating after they heard the news.
@@alwaysdreaming5175 🤣🤣🤣
As a long time Dolphins Phan…I’m still Coach Flo, always rooting for him. I truly hope he wins this valid lawsuit against the shield.
How do you feel about your owner trying to tank and lose games on purpose? Get that clown out of there
@@trevorfromcanada5790 OH after that revelation GET ROSS OUTTA HERE!!! you absolutely right!!
@@trevorfromcanada5790 I FEEL LIKE ROSS WAS DEFINITELY RIGHT ABOUT THAT, is why we still suck, we could've had burrow instead of Tua
These conversations are so good. Thanks for the awesome content!
Love it!! Love both shows! Excited for this topic!
Great interview. Thanks guys. Props to coach Flores.
I love that they brought him here...but they didn't give him the platform, too many interjections, asking repeatative questions, trying to be too politically, the issue is that there are no PLAYERS, past or present, that are stepping up. They take the check, they don't care who coaching. This conversation felt muzzled, in a sense that they didn't dive, they kept saying black coaches get "bad jobs", he made a bad job into a good job, a job that people would love to have, there needs to be players taking a stand against the nfl, against the owners, "Massa" needs his "players" to revolt in order to get them to hear them, if the black players want black coaches, stand the fuck up, and say it, brandon said if the owners want to "reach" brandon get someone to speak to them, they don't care because he is "reached" by the pay check, they put so much emphasis on how the check changes their family's life for decades, so that means the money is more important then standing on what is right or wrong.
@@travondavis8289 i agree. It’s hard to do. We all see what happened to Colin. Unfortunately in the NFL, unlike the NBA or MLB, the owners have all the power. There isn’t a big enough star that has the ability to make change individually, except for maybe Brady. The players would definitely have to collectively revolt but their window is so small. The average nfl career is only about 3-5 years. They don’t want to take the risk to lose that money.
Interview was good but i am just a little disappointed he wasn't asked about the deshaun watson situation
Amazing interview fellas. I'm so inspired by Coach Flores' stand. We stand with him!!!
The players need to understand their value and get on one accord, the NFL can't exist without 70%🖤
They're not going to risk their money. It's as simple as that. They could get more money if they all united but they never will.
So you want to group up and challenge them? They will replace all of them for cheaper
@@user-ik5ze1sh7i and they would lose money out the anis, if the owners replaced players. But the Black players should form their own league and there will be no problem
Facts!!
This applies to us as a people, not just players. That’s why you have to respect BF.
Back to the basics... loved the interview.
23:12 he gave b marsh an earful 😂😂😂😂 he said oooouuu lmao choked em up with that answer
“What are some of those things.” Great journalism👍🏾 Excellent topics bringing multiple issues creating awareness regarding problems within the NFL & other athletic organizations. Coach orgullo Hondureño 🇭🇳te deseo mucho éxito 👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Huge Dolphins fan who was shocked that we let Flores go. He is an excellent coach and I would have loved to have him continue to coach the Dolphins. Wish coach nothing but the best! Will continue to be a Flores fan
Brian Flores is the spirit animal of every Black person who had to deal with that one boss.
Brian Flores with his white wife wanna cry about being black balled..miss me ..shout out to Mike Tomlin real black king
@@noirfamiliarecords3972 exactly won even hire a black defence team but attack the whites of the NFL. If he still had his job he wouldn't say shit.
35:18 👌🏿Random but HUGE Props to the cam-op! You did a great job framing him up as he adjusted his posture!🔥
I wish you the best Flo! Thanks for your time in Miami!
This was a very good show. I respect the coach more now!!!
Was a good episode just a little disappointed he was never asked about the deshaun watson situation.
As a Dolphins fan I find it deeply saddening and unfair to fire Brian Flores. There is undoubtedly higher standards for minorities in the NFL to be selected for positions of leadership. I wish you nothing but the best Brian Flores. Keep up the good fight, a lot of dolphins fans stand behind you.
I agree with everything you said. Brian Flores was trying to win while the owner is trying to bribe him to lose. Front office was actively trying to sabotage him. They still didn’t give the real reason why he was fired. All they told us was “ohh we fundamentally disagreed” whatever that means.
Im a dolphins fan as well. I agree with you man. Good point. I was a flores fan when he was our coach!
He quit
Completely agree with you. I've been a Dolphins all my life and all I want them to do is win. I was never on board with the "tank for Tua" or any other tanking to get a good quarterback. The team under BFlo scrimped and scraped and got wins that people didn't expect them to. That's what I wanna see in my team, passion, heart and kicking ass to win. Really bummed the owner is more interested in his real estate dealings then the players and fans. Much respect to BFlo, he's an incredible coach.
He got 3 years just like the white coaches that were fired.. Sparano. Gase...
I just want to say this was an awesome discussion that brought to light many issues that I did not think were out there. A powerful discussion about minorities in leadership positions. I commend Brian Flores for having the courage and risking his future to bring this to the forefront for all to see. Brandon, Chad and Omar... thank you for producing a very powerful and professional podcast. Great job !
So much respect for Brian Flores. I'm glad his voice is heard. Stand Proud!
B Marshall know damn well he was bricking those jumpers. That editing was too much 🤦🏾♂️😂
Had that 90s Fresh Prince of Belair editing lol
Facts 🤣
Excellent show!! Thank you 😊 ✊🏾🤎🖤🤎❤️🖤💚💛
Welcome to Pittsburgh Coach B Flo, looking forward to next year even more now!
This was a much needed conversation. They all are around this topic
BM great great great show brother! Keep this high level up!!! Big fan and supporter 💯💯💯
In 2019… I wanted the 1st overall pick as a result, I agree with Omar Kelly but after the season I came away thinking damn, we found a great coach. Come 2021 something was off…. Hindsight, it most likely the soured relationship with Ross, GM and coach over 2019 fallout. 🤦♂️ Welcome to the life of a Miami Dolphins fan! 🐬⬆️
honestly burrow wasn’t and still isn’t the best qb in that draft it’s Herbert.
So you wanted to lose? You approach things to lose. SMH
To each his own but I would never want my team to lose on purpose. Coach Flores said it best, you can't build a winning culture trying to lose.
@@Bougie.Weirdo I agree, players and coaches really don’t tank, but organizations do, the front office will by stripping the roster or mandating you play certain players to develop… Cinci did it, happens all the time. Funny thing tho, once they signed FitzMagic, I knew the overall pick was at risk.. Again, in my previous post, I was impressed with Flo 2019 and really thought we had our coach of the future!
This is powerful 🔥🔥 I was waiting for you guys to interview him!
EPIC SHOW appreciate you all fellas
This doesn't strike me as a man who would potentially sacrifice his career, lightly. He's simply vocalizing the frustrations of those who have gone through the same thing in silence.
But…he obviously did it. He a martyr now. I hope he gets another chance but I get it if he doesnt.
@@richy12zzz Already hired, Steelers
I’m sorry he does strike me as a man that has put it all on the line he has tremendous intellect and seem to have value salute to him seeing his power and not selling out
@@terrywatts1060 I didn’t know that. But, the position is a huge downgrade. Feels like pity money.

Love this interview. This is a very intelligent dude, he’s quick witted and has a calm demeanor makes me wanna go line up && play football for him
great episode this what we needed to hear
What’s done in the dark by these sports owner’s always seems to come to the light! I wish you well Brian Flores in your future endeavors. It takes courage to risk it all for people probably not even born yet!🙌🏾
Is that why a black GM fired him? It was Chris Grier who made the call on Flores so your narrative is a lie.
@@joeferreira4992 Question do you think he fired him without the owner telling him A simple
yes or no
The locker room is like the military. We are color blind and only focused on our mutual goal. I love this interview! We Dolphins fans will miss you Coach Flo!!!!
We dolphins will not miss his offense dude couldn’t put together a offense staff to save his life or his job rather lol
This really adds insight. Thank you 🙏🏽 guys. Best wishes Coach Flores
Great Take Guys! Thank You 🙌🏽
Great show guys! Put together well. First time watching. I'm Sooo torn right now as a die hard DOLPHAN!! Love and miss Flores and trying to be hopeful of our future w/out him at the same time! So I guess it's only a one phinsup feeling in my heart right now. But as to the show guys, it's TUA Phins up!! Great job!!

I Love this SHOW!
Thank you for being so brave and going against the grain! Change never comes from silence and without rocking the boat.
Great interview fellas and much respect to coach Flores. Any team should want a leader like him if you want to win. From this interview I now see that it isn’t always about winning in the NFL. It’s business!
Another week another fire episode🔥
This is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
Love this show! Thank You Coach Flores for your service!
This is one of my favorite episodes. Love the addition of Omar.
Lord this brought me back to the podcast cos felt bad when you guys had a break up, but when you bring my NE raised coach I wanna listen . Am back

I like the conversations that you all are having on this platform but you got to let the guests you invite speak. Let them complete their thoughts. Cheers!
Lmfao that B Marsh lean in when he’s about to get “Messy” always kills me man😂😂😂
Great interview! love Coach Flo!
Love Flo!! hope everything works out for him
great episode. flores is a man of principle who refuses to waver and fit in with the politics. i'm sure he'll have success in pittsburgh and wherever else moving forward.
If he had principle he would have hired at least 1 lawyer who is black. I just don’t understand why Flores didn’t hire 1 minority to represent him. Does he not think blacks are as good of lawyers as whites? Be curious to know how many black lawyers, if any, he considered to hire? How long did he interview them? Did he actively seek out any black or minority lawyers? Why not 1 single female?
@@jamesrobinson4157 he is using a lawyer whom was his high school classmate
@@jamesrobinson4157 he's going up against the nfl. therefore, the most reliable and trustworthy lawyer should be assigned to his case. who's to say he didn't interview a black lawyer? but in the end he got who he thought would best represent him. it's not about color or gender at that point, but who will help him win and spread awareness.
@@jeffrey4229 and the nfl teams hired coaches that they thought gave them the best chance to win. I just think there’s a hypocrisy or double standard to call the nfl racist when it has a disproportionately LOW number of black coaches then justify Flores hiring NO black lawyers.
@@jamesrobinson4157 so cam cameron was better suited than mike tomlin? or freddie kitchens more than hue jackson? you’re isolating one event with flores whereas the nfl has shown time and time again their agenda. over 14% of current coaching staff is related to one another.
This interview is🔥💯
Great interview!
Sooooo hyped for him to be in the Burgh
LEGENDARY 🔥🔥
Real Talk... I experienced this shit at work 2 weeks ago. Since then I been focusing on starting my own business so it will never happen again
Great show!!!!!
Good interview. I agree with coach on never playing to lose. But, I do think owner, GM and coach must be on same page on if the team is in a full rebuild or not.
I must admit that Brian Flores firing came as a shock to me . I was like , What ! Then after I heard Stephen Ross explanation for firing coach Flores , I wonder why things could not be worked out . It quite obvious now that Coach Flores did not have Chris Grier full support . And it makes me wonder why coach Flores was not fired immediately after he refused to go along with tanking .
He wasn't immediately fired for legal reasons. They didn't want to be sued.
@@ljdajoker7113 yeah I figured as much but if the threat of being sued was the only reason why Brian Flores kept his job then he should have realized in the moment when he turned down the so-called offer to tank that' his job with the Dolphins could end right then . As much as I am for the cause , it bothers me how coach Flores handled the situation . I still wonder why he didn't resign if his love of the game would not allow him to tank . And I hate to admit it but I agree with Omar Kelly because the obvious question to ask coach Flores is did not Chris Grier explain what the expectations were for the upcoming season . If it is shown that Chris Grier led Brian Flores to go along with something that didn't line up with Stephen Ross expectations , then Grier should be fired . It quite obvious that Chris Grier is the blame for the situation Stephen Ross finds himself in right now .
@@terryholmes1609 I kinda agree, in general life is unfair. Democracy is considered a bad government by the Aristotle the man who created the word democracy. It is a government meant for the rich to lead the poor. Which it does. But I think Flores is acting honorably throughout this duration, cause A. he is black and knows his options are not the same as non black head coach. It looks like he made the best of the situation, hoping that the GM and Owner would appreciate what he has done, not done, and what he created. IMO he gave the dolphins an identity that we have not had in decades. He gave us something to look forward to, its called progress. He has done it with little help and no major signings or trades. He was un-rewarded from the Dolphins but he is rewarded by the people watching his progress in the NFL. I am shocked he got a job at all again in the NFL so quickly. But the STEELERS are all about the change, they acknowledge the problem, they have helped this problem for decades, they appreciate a person like Flores acknowledging the problem. FIRST THING TO SOOLVE A PROBLEM is acknowledging there is a problem. WITH THAT IN MIND, the dolphins, broncos and giants, DONT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE that there is a problem, just call him a liar. Call him a liar and ACKNOWLEDGE the problem, dont try to keep sweeping it under the rug. Just saying
@@bryanr7493 Well said my friend ! Your point hints at collusion .
Because the owner thought he could buck break him and when you can’t that makes white folks mad!
Great episode!
Y’all comments low because y’all deleting all the ones that give y’all honesty 😂😂 working over time! Let the staff get lunch!
Flo is awesome!
Great interview🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good Stuff Fellas!
Tony Dungy was fired as head coach of the Bucs in 2001 (QB:Brad Johnson). The following year 2002, Jon Gruden won the Super Bowl with the Bucs (QB: Brad Johnson).
The Bucs won because of their defense that Dungy put together,not because of middle of the pack Brad Johnson.
Tony Dungy replaced Jim Mora then won a SB in Indianapolis. What's the point? 🤷🏿♂️
@@markfranklin7965 I feel like the Bucs had no grounds to fire Dungy. So, why was he unemployed if he had the same D and QB as his successor?
Prayers for this brother.
Great episode 🔥🔥
Show is great fellas.. .
I really wish Coach Flores the very best and all success 🙌🏾 🙏🏾
Chad REALLY understands he ain’t blind at all
He never was the caricature that was a media creation to discredit him
Great to hear from Coach 💪🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Interview
Very well spoken !! Coach took my Dolphins from Sh*t to Sugar in such a short time . I wish him the best
It seems like Omar is blaming the coach, not tanking and getting fired
So Disgusting!!
He is he’s a snake he was killing brown Flores and the chiefs OC on Twitter basically saying everything is their fault and blaming Flores for what happened in Miami …all this tanking stuff he keeps bringing up is exactly how he was talking on Twitter but more
@@pedrogates3189 mmm maybe Omar was right? miami alot better without flores
@@Anonymous-yt7zr nah Flores would be doing the same thing with this talent miami was fucked up stop it
@@pedrogates3189 you're a clown. Flores cant run an offense to save his life or career lol.
Great video!! I wish u guys would have let the video play all the way though without edits
Great show!
Omar on his Twitter page has said multiple times that Flores disrespected him. He said nobody talks to him like that, speaking of how Flores spoke to him as coach of the dolphins. I'd like to know how Flores disrespected Omar. He's never given any details. Omar seems to be fine with Flores in this interview. Laughing at his jokes.
EXACTLY...Omar SOFT in this interview
Watching this and other stuff out there, how can anyone question his credibility to be a head coach and a leader of men? Since all of this blew up, I've watched every video I could find on him, and it's clear he has what it takes. It's time to hold the NFL, and more importantly, the Dolphins accountable
I am so glad Brian Flores is now part of the Steelers organization. I knew he was a good coach but after really listening to him for the first time, I respect him more as a man. Proud to be a life long Steelers fan and would run through a wall for Mike Tomlin and now Brian Flores.
Great content, always enjoy the real talk. Chad you’ve been taken out the game before, Jan 3 2010 vs the Jets ( Revis Island) Hope pro football focus stat that.
